Research
My research uses Finnish nationwide registers to study anxiety disorders and depression in children and adolescents. Key topics include time trends in treated incidence, parental psychopathology as a risk factor, and the association between parental immigration status and offspring mental health service use. My broader research interests include psychiatric epidemiology, intergenerational transmission of mental disorders, and mental health disparities in immigrant populations.
